Well the sun's comin' up but I'm too blue to crow
Yeah the sun's on the rise but I'm too blue to crow
It seems the chicky ain't been layin' and Lord she thinks that I don't know
Yeah the talk's all over the barnyard that I've been had
Yeah the talk's all over the barnyard that the Rooster's been had
Hey but the feather's gonna fly cause this old red rooster's mad

Hey I thought I heard somethin' leavin' from the hen house last night
Hey I sure saw something leavin' from the hen house last night
Hey she said it was a weasel Lord I don't think she's right
[ guitar ]
Hey hey black bull won't you give me a line of talk
Hey hey black bull won't you give me a line of talk
Hey tell me what do you do when your old heifer starts to balk
Yeah the talk's all over the barnyard...
[ harmonica ]
Hey the sun's on the rise but the old red rooster's got
The blues got the blues got the blues blues blues
The sun's comin' up oh I got the blues
Cause the chicky I been seein' Lord she's layin' somebody new
